NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks on finding his wife on dating app Hinge, revealing that he fell in love with her at first sight, and says they both ended up deleting the app after meeting each other ❤️🩹🙌
“I think I was in love from the moment I saw her photo. I screenshotted her Hinge profile before she even matched back… I’m very much a romantic… And then when you meet the love of your life, to actually be living what felt like a fantasy when you first saw their face, it’s hard to believe.”
Slowly realizing the secret to hacking adulthood is always having something planned that you can look forward to. That solo date, trip out of town, spa day or pottery class will help keep your head above water
sometimes, i randomly remember that HBO made us believe Ned Stark was the main character, then went ahead and beheaded him just a few episodes later 🤦🏽♀️
Just got off the phone with my college roommate.
His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in January.
He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.
7 months later:
Savings: wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren’t their problem.
He told me he’s not the same person anymore.
Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn’t go away.
They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.
One diagnosis undid all of it in 7 months.
And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting a $30 million bonus this quarter.
I don’t know how people defend this system with a straight face.
I really don’t.
My grandma always said “toodaloo” instead of goodbye because she hated goodbyes. When she passed away we were on our way to bury her ashes in the cemetery and we were stopped at a traffic light. There was a red Pontiac Sunfire in front of us with a license plate that said “toodaloo” on it. I kid you not we all lost our minds and started crying.
